Incorporating Embodied Cognition Into Sensemaking Theory: A Theoretical Integration Of Embodied Processes In A Leadership Context, Allison O'Malley, S. Ritchie, R. Lord, J. Gregory, C. Young
Alison L. O'Malley
Despite growing recognition across a number of disciplines that cognitive processes are based in the body's interaction with the environment (e.g., Wilson, 2002), the body is afforded a negligible role in current conceptualizations of cognition in organizations. For instance, Hodgkinson and Healey's (2008) recent review of cognition in organizations makes no mention of how the body is implicated in cognitive processing. Perspectives that recognize the body's fundamental involvement in cognitive processing are referred to as embodied cognitive approaches. Embodied cognitive approaches view the representation of knowledge as dependent on brain structures involved in perception, action, and introspection rather than based …

Multitier Screening And Identification, Lee Wilkinson
Lee A Wilkinson, PhD
Although autism spectrum disorder (ASD) affects approximately 1% of the school-age population, it is not unusual for children with mild levels of impairment to remain unidentified until well after entering school. A recent study examining the timing of identification among children with autism using a population-based sample from an ongoing surveillance effort across 13 sites in the United States found the gap between potential and actual age of identification (for those identified) to be in the range of 2.7 to 3.7 years. Combined with the fact that more than one quarter of cases were never identified as having ASD through …
Developmental And Narrative Perspectives On Religious And Spiritual Identity Development For Clinicians, Paul Wink, Jonathan Adler, Michele Dillon
Developmental And Narrative Perspectives On Religious And Spiritual Identity Development For Clinicians, Paul Wink, Jonathan Adler, Michele Dillon
Jonathan M. Adler
Identity gives an individual a sense of sameness and continuity (Erikson, 1968) and provides answers to questions about the nature, purpose, and meaning of life (Kiesling, Sorell, Montgomery, & Colwell, 2006). William James (1910/1968) placed spiritual identity, encompassing intellectual, moral, and emotional development at the center of personality. Given that the search for personal meaning is a vital component of a person's identity, it is not surprising that religion and spirituality play a key role in the identity development of many Americans.
Telling Stories About Therapy: Ego Development, Well-Being, And The Therapeutic Relationship, Jonathan Adler, Dan Mcadams
Telling Stories About Therapy: Ego Development, Well-Being, And The Therapeutic Relationship, Jonathan Adler, Dan Mcadams
Jonathan M. Adler
We need narratives of relationships to understand them precisely because relationships have idiosyncratic meanings in a life. The authors looked at one of the best-researched and documented relationships within psychology--that of the psychotherapy relationship--and investigated the different ways in which this relationship is retrospectively narrated by different groups of people. They discovered that people high in ego development but low in well-being featured the therapeutic relationship prominently in their stories whereas those at high levels of both deemphasized the role of their therapist in their narratives. In this chapter, the authors raise questions about the narrative patterns of relational dynamics …
How Does Personality Develop?, Dan Mcadams, Jonathan Adler
How Does Personality Develop?, Dan Mcadams, Jonathan Adler
Jonathan M. Adler
There are good reasons to be skeptical about any efforts to bring together two fields of inquiry that have historically had little to do with each other - that is, personality psychology and the study of human development. Personality psychologists are by training, and maybe even temperament, suspicious of the idea of development, for to them it means change (i.s. instability, inconsistency), and personality is nothing if it is not at least somewhat enduring. Developmentalists, on the other hand, specialize in a certain kind of change - meaningful and orderly change over time.
Autobiographical Memory And The Construction Of A Narrative Identity: Theory, Research, And Clinical Implications, Dan Mcadams, Jonathan Adler
Autobiographical Memory And The Construction Of A Narrative Identity: Theory, Research, And Clinical Implications, Dan Mcadams, Jonathan Adler
Jonathan M. Adler
Going back to Freud, cliniciants have listened to, tried to understand, and tried to change the stories their patients tell them. Different therapeutic approaches have tended to privilege different kinds of stories to suggest different strategies interpretation and intervention. Classic psychoanalysis, for example, has traditionally sought to unmask the disguised meanings of manifest dream narratives. Carl Rogers taught an emphatic stance toward life narrative: Therapists were to encourage and affirm their clients' autobiographical recollections, holding back critical judgment and expressing the necessary unconditional positive regard through which a client might eventually actualize the good inner self.

Sitting At The Nexus Of Epistemological Traditions: Narrative Psychological Perspectives On Self-Knowledge, Jonathan Adler
Sitting At The Nexus Of Epistemological Traditions: Narrative Psychological Perspectives On Self-Knowledge, Jonathan Adler
Jonathan M. Adler
To inquire about self knowledge implicitly suggests that there is a self that can be known in a verifiable way. Several psychological disciplines have developed creative and innovative methods for identifying and overcoming barriers to assessing the self in an objective manner. Yet from the perspectives adopted by the growing field of narrative psychology, the very mission of identifying objective self-knowledge is fraught. One of the most exciting elements of the field of narrative psychology is its location at the nexus of two epistemological traditions. On the one hand, narrative psychologists share many of the same concerns with validity, reliability, …
